He could have been done much, much better, either delving further into what the stress of being very likely to die at any moment be, or not being quite such a pathetic little bitch.

It was not entirely unpleasant, although at the end of it I felt that my time could have been better spent. Perhaps one of you with a more Japanese taste would enjoy it. If nothing else, one of the endings got me to thinking about how much I would sacrifice for art, and discussed it with a friend. We came to the conclusion that both of us would be willing to lose close people in our lives for art, both be willing to damage ourselves(him to the point of death), and neither of us would be willing to kill another person for art.

Katawa Shoujo! A game that requires patience!

Oh man, you know my girlfriend was playing this once and she told me about it. It sounded pretty... not fun.

It's not so much a game as much as a book with titties(provided you do all the reading and shit).

Lol his face when he's with hanako, the little smile that's all like "Hmmm, eight hours well spent" cracks me up every time
